Chris Gerrish, Rochester's president, said: "We are pleased to expand our partnership with Altera to include selective members of its mature parts. By entering into this agreement, we are able to enrich our product catalogue and further support our customers' supply requirements."
Devices covered by the agreement include select MAX 7000 CPLDs and FLEX, APEX and Stratix GX FPGAs. According to Rochester, these devices are used in applications such as military/aerospace, transportation, medical, industrial and communications, all of which need extended availability of components. Rochester says users will have continued access to a secure and reliable source of these FPGAs and CPLDs and adds that it will support orders for small quantities.
